Last night the SOU Student Film Festival hosted students and community members for a magical, socially distanced, film festival. The night was full of Hollywood magic, an SOU walk of fame, and many excited viewers. At the end of the evening awards were distributed for categories like Best Short Script and Best Cinematography. These were split by audience awards and juror awards. The jurors included John Tufts from the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Eric Ernst from Mixed-ish, and Chris Nibley, a cinematographer for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
